Mojo Monday meets Play Date Cafe Scrapbooking in Melbourne,Florida

Oh, it's good to be back!

Thank you for all of the encouragement during my morosity (new word?). I hope the mojo has returned -- I made four cards today! wooHOOO!!! I decided to sit down in my studio and just create for fun -- no design team projects (although they are fun!!!) -- no restrictions; just create.

So I started with a card for my BFF Rindy, which you'll see in a couple of days. Then a card for my BFF Tami. These gals really were my lifeline a couple of weeks ago during my unfortunate incarceration (my layoff - ha).

Then I moved on to a couple of challenge cards. Now, this is the first time I've ever made a card that actually fits two challenges! I used Julee's Mojo Monday 150 sketch. Wow, this sketch rocked! I always forget about my corner rounder, so this was a fun reminder that it's in my stash.

I also fulfilled the Play Date Cafe's Challenge 41, which is a color challenge. What great inspiration there!

I was so excited to get to play with Spellbinders'(TM) brand new release S4-297 Nested Crown(R) die templates. Yum!!!! The darker portions are actually inked through the holes in the die template - that's what's so great and unique about Spellbinders die templates! Click on the photo to get a closer look.

So how's your mojo? If you are stuck like I was, try making something just for fun - no restrictions. Or try one of the sketch challenges - I've linked several here in the left column of my blog. Let me know how it works out!

Deb...it's GREAT to have you play with us in The Play Date Cafe...this card is a great interpretation of the colors and now that the mojo is back, we look forward to many more entries from you : )LoVe that CrOwN!

First, I love your card and am glad to see you are getting your mojo back.

Secondly, I am so sorry to hear about your job. While I can't (or won't) say I know how you feel, I do understand how you might feel lousy even though what is going on with jobs and the medical industry hasn't got a darned thing to do with you.

I hope the stamp therapy and support of your friends helps you keep your chin up. You're a good gal...
